ASTROLOGY BRIEF - July 28-August 3, 2025

 

"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom." ― Aristotle

“You cannot pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself first.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

Two major celestial events this week are the Quarter Moon in Scorpio and Venus transiting into Cancer – both these rays s in the water element stirring emotions and how you relate to the world, and within yourself, to bonds, memories and attachments. Contributing and intensifying this is Mercury still retrograde and other Leo influences that bring a need to focus and also the realization of how and why you focus that can be a way to center and ground.

 ★★ ASTROLOGY Brief for July 14-20, 2025  ★★

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart.

Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. Carl Jung

The Quarter Moon in Aries on July 17adds to the fire that inspires and prompts to forge ahead. Both retrospection and introspection are manifest. Desire to make a decision is strong that will need discernment and evaluation as you go forward throughout this and into next week. Independence is a key factor all throughout this current cosmic pattern.

Yes, it’s here, Mercury for three weeks is retrograde beginning Friday, July 18. Happening approximately three times a year the cycle cautions making major moves and suggests being thorough with activities due to possible errors and miscommunication. In Leo the willfulness is strong leading to the determination to tackle and conquer something significant, or for some this may challenge the ability to see with needed perspective. This is on the heels of Saturn now recently retrograde in Aries, also a fire sign as is Leo. See Thursday details for more insight.

ASTROLOGY BRIEF for July 7-13, 2025

Uranus in Gemini - unique travel and a wild ride.

"Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Uranus in Gemini for Seven Years and Saturn Retrogrades in Aries 

A Full Moon in Capricorn comes in on Thursday called the Buck Moon, Thunder Moon, Hay Moon and Salmon Moon all referencing aspects of nature. Where I live it seems accurate to call is Thunder Moon with all the thunderstorms happening. I read Mother Nature struck a fireworks display in a nearby county, hit by lightening that cancelled the event. Irony. This Thunder Moon opposes the sign Cancer bringing about challenge and certain awareness to nations and places governed by Cancer such as the United States and individuals born under the ray – creating an axis of activity for both Cancer and Capricorn and Aries and Libra.

Freedom of expression takes a new turn. Uranus, planet of innovation and disruption moves into Gemini for a seven year stent bringing about structural changes within the Gemini domain. There will surely be an overhaul for all communication. How we all interact and relate is in for an overhaul and certainly AI will be right in the mix. More is noted on Monday’s aspect list.

Saturn, currently transiting through Aries will retrograde on Sunday throwing ideologies and independence into a tailspin as it will with all matters relating to how you position yourself in your personal and overall place in the world. It’s time for review.

New topics on the Way

 A few new topics on the way soon.

ASTROLOGY BREF for JUNE 16-22, 2025

 

“Personal boundaries are the guidelines that we use in our relationships to help us define safe and comfortable ways of interacting with others. They help us define where we stop and others begin and help us protect and take care of ourselves.”— Theresa Comito

A major turning point this week is the Summer Solstice on Thursday that is the longest day and shortest night of the year when much of the planet is in bloom and teaming with life. This about going inward and tapping into your emotional and private life and bringing up ways you feel, or need to feel safe and secure. On a deep level feelings and thoughts are also about vulnerability and trust. Subliminally many will be, especially for the next month while the Sun transits through the sign of Cancer, exploring the meaning of family and all with whom bonds are significant. Home, family and personal bonds surface for notice and involvement. Ideals of safety and trust beacon to be manifest and giving such consideration is synchronizing with the world. Your nest, your memories and the sum of your spirit vibrates to a high level.

Also this week Mars enters Virgo for several weeks creating energy of the strategist. Being thorough and practical are traits that help to manifest what before has been idealism and desire. Check Tuesday on Patreon for the exact time and details. This is a great motivating ray.

ASTROLOGY for JUNE 2-8, 2025

“In the small matters trust the mind, in the large ones the heart.” – Sigmund Freud

 ★★★

Venus and Mercury take a front seat in the solar system travels this week creating a more personal experience as interaction is preferred. Mercury is all the ways you communicate and connect in the world and Venus is all the ways you feel, love and drawn outside yourself to another and personal aspects of life. While the Moon moves through a transformative cycle beginning Monday and for the week you journey, within and/or through decisions and actions toward significance. How and why you reach out and also respond to others has depth and meaning and as well how you connect through affection care and love is not just experiential but also informative as to your present path in life. Discernment is a good tool for determining decisions and choices as well as how you take the next steps on your way. 

This time of the Quarter Moon in Virgo benefits tending to details and small things so that your life runs more efficiently. 

Single White Female Syndrome

 "Single White Female syndrome" is a colloquial term used to describe obsessive, manipulative, and potentially harmful behaviors, often associated with female relationships or interactions. The term originated from the 1992 film Single White Female, which depicted a woman (Hedra) who became obsessed with and eventually sought to replace her roommate (Allison). They are able to integrate into society and groups as nice and forthright while privately are raging. Their forte is beguilement.
